Abstract:
In the field of removable prosthodontics, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have become widely recognized. The traditional method, which uses heat-polymerized resins for injection or compression molding, necessitates up to five patient visits and laborious laboratory processes. A digital workflow combined with a CAD/CAM methodology can provide prompt prosthesis delivery for patients with time constraints. This article's goal is to outline the steps and the limitations in the fabrication of digital dentures as well as the challenges, limitations, and solutions developed while developing a clinical workflow for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients with the CAD/CAM System.
